Shawn Phillips, the owner, is no stranger to the world of fitness, health and wellness. While in school, Shawn was a star basketball player at Fox Tech H.S. in San Antonio, state champions in 1997, and continued his basketball journey during his college years at Avila University. After obtaining his BA in Sociology, he then pursued a Master’s in Business Administration. He returned to San Antonio 2009 where he worked in corporate America, all the while dreaming of working with youth and giving back in a fitness environment. In
2010 Shawn turned his passion for weight lifting into more than just a hobby. He entered the world of Professional Bodybuilding, which now he holds several titles to include 20 First Place Winnings, NPC Athlete of the Year, and IFBB Pro Masters Nationals -two times.
Due to being laid off in 2018, Shawn was forced to look at other opportunities and decided that it was time to make his dream a reality. Drawing inspiration from a podcast on the topic opening a business, he took a leap of faith and Texas Muscle and Fitness came to life. Two years later Shawn is opening his second location in Converse Texas, continuing to build his brand and legacy.
